talks on the fiscal cliff begin tomorrow and the president is opening that conversation with his plan to raise $1.6 trillion over the next decade. he wants to do that by increasing taxes on corporations and the rich and ceos are actually standing by him on this one. president obama spoke with executives at several top u.s. companies yesterday. xerox's ceo ursula byrnes called the meeting very constructive and positive. as a whole ceos do think the president is listening to their suggestions. up to this point house speaker john boehner is saying he will not accept any increases on tax rates. but some top republicans are quietly coming around. it is obvious after the election that republicans do not hold the mandate on taxes. while the g.o.p. still might not agree to a tax rate on those making more than $250,000 a year, if democrats demand a millionaire tax increase, it will be hard for republicans to say no. climate change actvilles are not feeling too optimistic after the president's news conference yesterday. advocates had been hoping the president would push for a carbon tax as a wa

both democrats and republicans are confident that during fiscal cliff negotiations, their side will come out on top. that's impossible. one side's going to have to cave and both sides have their fair share of problems. for republicans, closing loopholes and reforming the tax code just will not raise enough revenue. according to the joint committee on taxation, even dumping the ten biggest loopholes will only pull in an extra $834 billion a year. yet that does sound like a lot of money but it will not even come close to making up the debt. democrats are not only facing republican opposition to raising taxes, they're also struggling within the party over entitlement benefits. progressives don't want any deep cuts to programs like medicare and social security. but a new third way poll shows many americans do support slashing these programs in order to help with the deficit. and let's take a moment now to talk about the virginia senate race. we know timothy qain won out over -- tim kaine won out over george allen. the third place candidate is getting a lot of attention. he received more than
